There is an immense number of rooms
in the building, and the horde Of con-
stantly changing tenants is never so
great as TO occupy much more than half
of them. Then rent is placed so high
that the poor people cannot afford to take
advantage Of the numerous compart-
ments. But the whole population is like
a colony of brothers. II a tenant falls
sick his room is at once invaded by all
his neighbors without exception, as many
az a get in, who bring the support Of
their slender resources, who prescribe fol
his ailments, who divide their soup witt
him. and in every way possible show
themselves true friends. Among them is
one Who is a permanent tenant. He is a
young actor afflicted with cancer. For
two years he has lain on his bed in this
building, his sole income being an an
nuily from m actors relief fund,
amounting TO ten francs a month.
In the winter there has usually been
three francs added for the purchase of

owing TO numerous cases demanding re-

1.-THE KINGS DAUGHTERS"
women who Organise, In Bands Of Ten,
for Doing Good Work.

for Doing Good Work.
The New York World calls attention
10 the fact that there is in the American
metropolis a society Of women known as
the Kings Daughters, which, despite its
royal title, is a very democratic organiza-
ton. Ii was begun by ten women who
felt an impulse to do some organized re-
ligious work and objected to the tram
mels Of a big, unwieldly society. So
these ten met at the house OF one OF their
number less than a year ago, elected a
president, adopted a motto, a watchword
and a badge, consisting of q tiny Maltese
cross suspended 10 a bit OF royal purple
ribbon.
The society has grown very large-not
added TO the original group, but organ
lied in other branches of ten each-and
the strange sight is seen sometimes Of a
woman at the counter Of a shop, seeing
the purple ribbon on the breast Of the
woman who serves her, extending her
hand cordially and saying, IL also am a
daughter of the king" The original ten
have formed the nucleus of a general
society, and are known a. the Central
Ten. To them perplexing matters are
referred. but the organization is very
elastic, and each little group carries on
its own self chosen work in its own
way. One Of the tens decided to visit
the sick children in the hospitals, and
chose that as their work. A number Of
them. various tens taking turn, visit the
hospitals and regularly assist in the insti-
tuition, also bringing dolls, picture books
and toys for the little ones. One ten has
undertaken to teach a class Of poor work
ing girls Ia sew and cook.
Ten society girls with trained voices
call themselves "A Musical Ten, and sing
in hospitals and at charitable concerts.
One branch calls itself the Shut-in Ten,
consisting Of invalidS who have been on
fined TO the house for years; another ten
devote themselves 10 these inyalids and
endeavor to bring light and joy into their
lives, corresponding with them. visiting
them. reading 10 them and teaching them
all sorts of fancy work TO beguile their
tedious lives. Some branches devote
themselves to home and foreign missions,
and there have been tens formed in
boarding schools for their self improve.

joined themselves TO the Kings Daugh-

energies and for whatever their
special taste dictates. Detroit Free Press.

The Mani obs right-of-way bill was
taken up and passed in the Senate
Monday. The bill as passed embodies
q very slight change from the shape in

phrase to read. construct, maintain

AN amusing scene recently occurre'

AN amusing scene recently occurred
In Commissioner Sparks office In
Washington. Congressman Foran
went In to see the Commissioner and
persuade him to remove Special Tim
Der Agent Haley, Of the Montana and
Idaho district. Haley, IL appears, 10
an Ohio man, q Republican and lives
In Foran's district. Before civil ser
vice reform he was q strong fighter
against Foran, and now the latter
wants his scalp. Sparks refused fatty
TO do what Mr.. Foran wanted.
"Haley." he said, lis one of the best
agents we have, and / don't care If he
Is a Republican, be is going to stay in.
He Is in accord with the administra-
ton, with secretary Lamar aud with
myself upon the present land policy.
He is trying with all his might to
help us enforce IL. l will not have
him put out" This made Foran
angry aud he retorted: well, sir, you
are not the man for your place, and l
think you ought TO be removed as well
as Haley. Neither your country nor
your party desires your services and
you ought to have the grace to step
down and out Of your Office" At this
Mr. Sparks arose from his seat and
said, with a good deal Of vehemence:
II know the people Of your district at
last falls election said very plainly
that you were not the man to repre-.
sem them. You are the last nan in
the world who ought to come here and
tell me to go out of this office. Now,
Mr.. Foran, you get out of this Office al
once. If you don't I'll put you out"
With this the Commissioner advanced
in an attitude of perfect readiness for
. fight. Mr.. Foran did not stay any
longer.

CHICAGO, May 16.-The initial step IN %.

tors WAS taken to-day by q contractor who
informed his men that hereafter il was ten
hours work or nothing. Tho carpenters were
united in stopping work. This return to
the ten-houf day was discussed at recent
meeting of the Master Carpenters' assooia-
ton, but was finally laid upon the table.
The present state of affairs shuts out all car
penters at work on brick or stone buildings,
but docs not affect those at work on frame
buildings, hence the only way to secure q
complete lockout of those laborers il
to demand return of the longer day. The
material supplies men are now thoroughly
banded together and represent q combine
ton that would cause q lock out. The
brick yards will close down on Wednesday
and remain closed until the existing difficult
ties are smoothed over. The tile manu-
facturers will follow suit.
At the headquarters Of the bricklayers'
association this morning it was stated
that many of the Workmen have returned to
work, the employers showing disposition
to give way on the pay day question.
The leaders OF the union Nipers express
themselves as being we'll satisfied with the
present aspect Of affairs and do not antici-
pate prolongation of the struggle.

ground of insubordination. The district
assembly is national one and
